[FEATURE]: @DERTYDEN FINALLY GETS RELEASE DATE, RUMOR OF A #MMG OR #BADBOY LABEL DEAL, and PERFORMANCE W/ @PLIES

I keep tabs on all clients, past and future and especially if they are within my market. From the outer banks to the mountains of North Carolina, however, the leaks and rumors aren't the same as they are in other markets. Labels are always within our border lines and there are many contracts signed. As I work and wait for release dates and/or updates from these contracts I watch and I learn. I've learned that the artists I've watched over the past 10 years that signed the first contract  put in their face, gets the most media AFTER the deal went wrong or just didn't work out.

There's the stories of all the Dip Set sub-labels and their broken promises, the story of the Jive record artist who got shelved, the story of the singer who could find another hit, the story of the platinum rapper who basically put himself in jail, the stories of resurrected labels making promises but no promotion, and even stories of the ex A&R allowing brands to be used in their name for publicity stunts. But what you never hear are the stories of the artists who has seen every label office, met every major lawyer, and set a standard that has not only kept them consistent but kept them respected.

In a nut shell, Derty Den has had Jay Z conferencing about "Fly Shit" f/ Gorilla Zoe, has had 50 Cent "borrow" a beat and a bar, and has every major label give him a stamp of approval. Only thing they won't give is a fair deal. I've had the privilege to work with this artist for 3 years and counting. Although currently I am working at a distance with him until some paperwork clears, I find myself writing this article and patting myself on the back. Yes, he is an asshole, the asshole in me is to blame for our big business breakup earlier this year but, in reality business is business. I continue to support him and his decisions and now that our heads are clear, I hope I'm not virtually attacked for leaking this information. #kanyeshrug

The highly anticipated and long awaited Limitless album finally getting another release date, which is August 28 2012. Great date since its mid 3rd Qtr. Paperwork should clear way before then and I'm definitely heading this project in this market and the team he has lined up is amazing. On another note there is a rumor that I cant quite get confirmed that he may be signing some kind of deal with Maybach Music Group or Bad Boy. My Vice President and business partner @Shae_FootePR, who is now located mainly in NY met up with Derty Den in New York City a few weeks back on a business trip from Atlanta. Apparently he did a session for a track in the Roc Nation studios and some label executives from either Bad Boy or MMG (ironically they are kinda similar, so you'd think I could figure it out lol I will soon tho) paid a visit. Soon as I know more, you'll know more.

SRA REVIEW: DERTY DEN x L I M I T L E S S TEASER VIDEO

Last project from Derty Den was, hands down, a classic. "Tony Soprano" averaged 4.5 stars on every mixtape review. It featured collaborations from Bobby Valentino, Jay Z and even J. Cole and became a favorite to ride to, cook out to and included the start of a wave of remixes featuring top artists within NC. Released just a week prior to his big win at the 2010 SMES for Best male Hip Hop, it also contained the hit singles "I See Paper" and "All I Need".

Before Tony Soprano, there was the infamous "Carolina Aint Enough" mixtape hosted by DJ Ike Gda. "Hey Shawty", "Poppin", "Fly Shyt", just to name a few, all came off of this installment and couldn't have released at a better time at a point in his career. Heat Wave was one of his installments that people often fail to realize its importance. It was a Don Cannonz co-sign and hosted project and was released around the time he won the Underground Music Award for Male Hip Hop of the Year.

No need to go back any further, this viral artist has accomplishments and a rap sheet of nothing but checks, co-signs, awards, recognitions, performance after performance, consistency and dedication. Every label knows his name and every label wants a compromise & to make a deal with a deal.

So why no deal? I think its the way he thinks, the way his team moves and the way he see's his career... his next project will explain it all.

"Limitless" street album, set to drop June 10, 2011:
